In the market for a 1.0TB drive for the best price/performance. Saw this is back on sale for $84.99 cash promotion until Sep 24. Seems like a pretty good deal?

How does this one compare to the Western Digital at Wallmart?

Could be it is sold out now. It has been on sales very often recently from NCIX for $80 or as low as $78.88, even dell had it on sales last week for $80 with free shipping.

same price at NCIX (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=37232&affiliateid=4763124&promoid=1021) right now (if you PM w/ onHop (http://www.onhop.ca/Product/10645665?f=Pricecanada)) to save one tax when your out of province

Sounds good, maybe I'll wait around for a better $80 deal or at least $2 shipping with NCIX. Even with price matching and tax savings, the cheapest shipping to Toronto is $10 express which makes it no cheaper than driving over to CC and picking one up for myself.

Oh ya and as for how this compares to the WD on at WM, I think that deal is for an external drive at $99.99
